initialize(params, qubits=None, normalize=False)

Initialize qubits in a specific state.

Qubit initialization is done by first resetting the qubits to :math:|0\rangle followed by calling :class:~qiskit.circuit.library.StatePreparation class to prepare the qubits in a specified state. Both these steps are included in the :class:~qiskit.circuit.library.Initialize instruction.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
params	QuantumState | Statevector | Sequence[complex] | str | int	The state to initialize to, can be either of the following. Statevector or vector of complex amplitudes to initialize to. Labels of basis states of the Pauli eigenstates Z, X, Y. See :meth:.Statevector.from_label. Notice the order of the labels is reversed with respect to the qubit index to be applied to. Example label '01' initializes the qubit zero to :math:|1\rangle and the qubit one to :math:|0\rangle. An integer that is used as a bitmap indicating which qubits to initialize to :math:|1\rangle. Example: setting params to 5 would initialize qubit 0 and qubit 2 to :math:|1\rangle and qubit 1 to :math:|0\rangle.	required
qubits	Sequence[QubitSpecifier] | None	Qubits to initialize. If None the initialization is applied to all qubits in the circuit.	None

              qubit zero to :math:`|1\rangle` and the qubit one to :math:`|0\rangle`.
            * An integer that is used as a bitmap indicating which qubits to initialize to
              :math:`|1\rangle`. Example: setting params to 5 would initialize qubit 0 and qubit
              2 to :math:`|1\rangle` and qubit 1 to :math:`|0\rangle`.

        qubits: Qubits to initialize. If ``None`` the initialization is applied to all qubits in
            the circuit.
        label: An optional label for the gate
        normalize: Whether to normalize an input array to a unit vector.

    Returns:
        A handle to the instruction that was just initialized

unitary(matrix, qubits, label=None)

Apply a unitary matrix to specified qubits.

This method applies a given unitary matrix to the specified qubits in the quantum circuit. The matrix is converted to match the qubit order of the quantum circuit by reversing the order of qubits.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
matrix	NDArray[complex128] | list[list[int]]	The unitary matrix to apply.	required
qubits	Sequence[QubitSpecifier]	The qubits to which the unitary matrix will be applied.	required
label	str | None	An optional label for the unitary gate. Defaults to None.	None

Returns:

Name	Type	Description
QuantumCircuit	QuantumCircuit	Quantum circuit with the applied unitary matrix.
